Vicki, you're talking about the URL field, right? If so, there's already an
option for that, but it doesn't have a UI presence; you have to edit your
user.js file and add the line:

user_pref("browser.urlbar.clickSelectsAll", false);

If that solves this problem for you, please say so and/or resolve this bug
WorksForMe. You could also transform it into a request for a GUI presence for
this preference.
